2. X-ray image intensifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_image_intensifier

   An X-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an image intensifier that converts X-rays into visible light at higher intensity than the more traditional fluorescent screens can. Such intensifiers are used in X-ray imaging systems (such as fluoroscopes) to allow low-intensity X-rays to be converted to a conveniently bright visible light output.

3. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

   Just as movies, TV, and web videos are to a substantive extent no longer separate technologies, but only variations on common underlying digital themes, so, too, are the X-ray imaging modes, and indeed, the term "X-ray imaging" is the ultimate hypernym that unites all of them, even subsuming both fluoroscopy and four-dimensional CT (4DCT ...

4. Image intensifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_intensifier

   An image intensifier or image intensifier tube is a vacuum tube device for increasing the intensity of available light in an optical system to allow use under low-light conditions, such as at night, to facilitate visual imaging of low-light processes, such as fluorescence of materials in X-rays or gamma rays (X-ray image intensifier), or for conversion of non-visible light sources, such as ...

5. Johnson's criteria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_criteria

   Working with volunteer observers, Johnson used image intensifier equipment to measure the volunteer observer's ability to identify scale model targets under various conditions. His experiments produced the first empirical data on perceptual thresholds that was expressed in terms of line pairs. In the first Night Vision Image Intensifier ...

6. Catheterization laboratory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheterization_laboratory

   Most catheterization laboratories are "single plane" facilities, those that have a single X-ray generator source and an X-ray image intensifier for fluoroscopic imaging. [1] Older cath labs used cine film to record the information obtained, but since 2000, most new facilities are digital .

7. Radiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiography

   Taking an X-ray image with early Crookes tube apparatus, late 1800s. Radiography's origins and fluoroscopy's origins can both be traced to 8 November 1895, when German physics professor Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered the X-ray and noted that, while it could pass through human tissue, it could not pass through bone or metal. [1]

8. Instruments used in radiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruments_used_in_radiology

   X-ray: uses X-rays to produce images of structures within the body; video link: Contrast media for X-rays: to provide a high contrast image of the details of the viscera under study; e.g. salts of heavy metals, gas like air, radio-opaque dyes, organic iodides, etc. Echocardiography machine: sonography of the heart is done here to know its ...

9. X-ray detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_detector

   Fish bone pierced in the upper esophagus. Right image without contrast medium, left image during swallowing with contrast medium. To obtain an image with any type of image detector the part of the patient to be X-rayed is placed between the X-ray source and the image receptor to produce a shadow of the internal structure of that particular part of the body.
